“The bomb went through it like butter,” Trump said in an interview about the US strike on Fordow, Iran’s nuclear site. The bombs have stopped falling - for now - and the Nifty 50 rose 2.1% last week, helped by a sharp drop in crude prices, and strong buying by FIIs. Speculation about a potential US rate cut in July by the Federal Reserve has also lifted market sentiment.

India may also be close to finalising a trade deal with the US ahead of President Trump’s July 9 deadline to impose reciprocal tariffs. At a White House event on June 26, Trump hinted at a breakthrough, calling the potential deal with India “very big”. But there have been no new announcements yet.

The primary market is set for a busy week, with nine IPOs opening for subscription, including one from the mainboard segment. Alongside, 15 companies are scheduled to list on the stock exchanges this week, following six listings in the previous week.

Arisinfra Solutions, a construction materials supplier, listed on June 25 at a 7.7% discount to its issue price of Rs 222. The IPO saw an overall subscription of 2.6X, weighed down by a weak response from QIBs.
